How to do a kettlebell snatch

  1. Hinge at hips and grasp kettlebell with one hand
  2. Pull kettlebell back between legs in hiking motion
  3. Explosively drive hips forward and stand tall
  4. Guide kettlebell overhead while rotating wrist under
  5. Catch kettlebell with arm fully extended overhead
  6. Lower kettlebell back to starting position with control

Form tips

  • Keep the kettlebell close to your body throughout the movement
  • Generate power from your hips and legs, not your arms
  • Maintain a neutral spine and avoid leaning back at the top
  • Practice the hip hinge pattern before attempting full snatches
  • Start with lighter weight to master timing and coordination
